I keep rotting away on my bed,
They can't see past the illusion,
A haunted corpse decorated with flowers
Do they really not see it, or do they turn a blind eye?
The darkest parts of my mind control me like a vice
The demons in my head shapeshift everyday
They claw at me each day and I bleed out like a soldier fallen
They've sucked the life out of me
They sunk their teeth deep in my skin
And I can't seem to find the cure
If I hide it well enough those around me won't notice, I've learned
They never seem to do,
Is this what was written in the prophecy? Have I been cursed?
The world is pretty big if you think about it,
I've been feeling tht alot lately,
Surrounded by people yet I'm alone;
An invisible glass exists between me and them , they don't see me, not really
I feel like I'm trapped in the valley of the deranged,
I yell and shout but my screams die out,
I try to shatter the glass, try to make a run for it ,
But the glass seems unbreakable; and they've tied me down with shackles made of iron,
All my efforts go in vain.
The demons claw at me from behind,
My throat is hoarse from screaming,
The line between reality and illusions of my mind are blurred,
I'm slipping away,
I'll never find the cure.
Everybody I know seems so far away now,
Just out of my reach,
I could scream for help but they'd not be near enough to hear,
They're so , so far , while I decay ,
Their love can't fix me now,
I'm too far gone,
My mind plays cruel jokes on me,
Like I'm stuck fighting in this thunderstorm.
Everyone seems to be slipping out of my reach,
I drown in my head,
All alone in my room,
The darkness is taking over now,
And I might soon just go over the edge,
As my face drains of color and I just watch it happen; fated to my doom.
